This paper decribes a line-of-balance based schedule planning and control system and its connection withlean construction methods, using a commercial software package called DYNAProject.
This guide is designed to help the Program / Project office, and the key members of the Project team correctly plan, schedule, and budget a project utilizing Earned Value.
This paper deals with the various scheduling techniques available to the project manager, the technical staff, and the project planners. The purpose is to determine which schedule technique should be used, where it should be used, by whom it should be used, and to which project phases it should be applied.
The Space Telescope Science Institute developed the Spike planning and scheduling software in support of the Hubble Space Telescope as a general toolkit for planning and scheduling under Contract NAS5-26555 with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Description:
Description of and approaches to concurrent delay. The claiming and granting of extensions of time in large infrastructure projects is often a complicated and fractious process. One common reason for this is the issue of concurrent delay.
During its mission, DS1 (Deep Space 1) performs Autonomous Optical Navigation (OpNav) to determine its position in space. One task in this activity involves taking pictures of several asteroids using DS1's Miniature Integrated Camera and Spectrometer (MICAS). PS generates the plan for this task, which is much more complex than it may at first seem.
Planning and scheduling is a complicated part of spacecraft control. Planning, for our purposes, can be thought of as determining all the small tasks that must be carried out in order to accomplish a goal. This gives a simple description of how Planning and Scheduling works, before linking this to spacecraft control.
A discussion paper on the value of the 4D VirtualSTEP simulation process being used to visualize the construction sequence. Another benefit is the ability to run what-if scenarios to determine optimum scheduling and resource management.
A research proposal paper, the primary objective of which is to develop a new scheduling engine that will be superior to any scheduling engine available for space activities, large construction projects, and new product development scheduling.
A chapter about construction planning from a book about project management in construction. This books develops a specific viewpoint in discussing the participants, the processes and the techniques of project management for construction. This viewpoint is that of owners who desire completion of projects in a timely, cost effective fashion.
The Experiment Scheduling Program (ESP) is used by the the NASA Mission Operations Laboratory (MOL) to schedule payload operations for all missions managed by MSFC and some aspects of United States payloads on the Space Station.
The Mission Planning Division of MOL developed ESP as a robust scheduler to produce the detailed schedules for multi-step activities required for payload operations on space missions such as Spacelab and Space Station.
Long before the shuttle leaves the launch pad, our planners and engineers go through a rigorous process of collecting information about the experiments and other activities which are going to occur during the mission.......
This website sets out the broad principles of how the Space Station experiments are planned and scheduled, and includes examples of activity requirements, time planning, resource (astronaut!) levelling and timelines.
